Muddy Waters had his second coming 30 years ago, when longtime friend and disciple Johnny Winter and his Blue Sky label returned him--after a series of listless recordings aimed at the rock audience--to the raw, powerful authenticity of his timeless Chess material with a series of powerful albums. Beginning with 1977's acclaimed Hard Again, a subsequent tour produced Muddy "Mississippi" Waters Live, recorded onstage in Detroit, New York, and Philadelphia with Muddy's band, Winter, and harmonica player/vocalist James Cotton. Enough live material remained for Legacy to release an expanded version with an entire second disc of unissued concert material. It seems even that wasn't the end. This collection returns again to those remarkable concerts, featuring Muddy on five tracks, among them a rousing "I Can't Be Satisfied," "Trouble No More," "Caldonia," and the closing "Got My Mojo Workin'." Winter and Cotton are no less powerful, Cotton redoing Jackie Brenston's hit "Rocket '88'" and Winter ripping up John Lee Hooker's "I Done Got Over It" and "Mama Talk to Your Daughter." --Rich Kienzle

Best blues album I've heard in a long time!.......2007-07-23
What an awesome album! It is great to hear these live performances by Muddy, Johnny, and James back in the heyday. This album is a must.

RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: ?WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU MIX, MUDDY WATERS, COTTON & WINTER? ANSWER:" OLD-TIME COOKING BLUES!".......2007-07-14
This cd is a new release of a concert tour in 1977 with Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter and James Cotton. I vacillated for days before I bought this. I have deducted, that listening to the thirty second sound bites, are worthless, especially when making a decision on electric blues. In 30 seconds, the guy might not even be done tuning his guitar! I'm going to attempt, to help you, not to have to go through, the anguish, that I went through, before I made the decision to buy this cd. First of all, you can tell how much these three guys like each other. Since this is a live performance, you hear them kidding each other throughout each song. One guy sings: "Your mother ought to know..." And one of the guys not singing lead, is yelling: "Yea tell em!" or you hear enthusiastic screams like: "Ow!" "Yea" "Do it James!" "Do it Johnny", etc. I personally think James Cotton, and his mind blowing "harp" (For you non-experienced blues neophytes, that's his harmonica! Please make a note of that!) steals the whole show. That magic harp of his, is either screeching, scratching, waling, and always cooking. If I were to try to draw a verbal picture for you, of the type of blues these fella's are playing, I'd say, think about an old black and white detective movie, and you're inside a bar, smoke is slowly circling its way to the ceiling, and in the background you hear the blues. That's the kind of blues on this cd. James Cotton, when he's not blowing the "harp", showcases a voice, that sounds like its seen, a lot of cigarettes, a lot of whiskey, a lot of women, and left it with the blues. This entire cd, is old-time "roadhouse", feeling good, blues. There are 11 songs, totaling just under sixty minutes. This is a classic taste, of old-time jamming, ELECTRIC BLUES, with the "harp", being the pulse, that never misses a blue beat! Buy this!
As wonderful as you'd expect.......2007-06-14
They were only together for one album and tour, but the Hard Again band was the most kickass assemblage of blues talent there has ever been. They simply never played anything, either live or in studio, that was not of extraordinarily high quality. This disc absolutely smokes, and it's a welcome treat that Cotton and Winter each get a couple turns on lead vocals. It's very encouraging that there's still this much great stuff left over after after the two disc edition of Muddy "Mississippi" Waters, because that means there's likely more on the way.
Bringin' It Back.......2007-06-14
Muddy Waters' work on Chess Records from the late 1940s to the early 1970s is truly amazing. He was the most powerful blues artist and one of the best songwriters. Many fans think he was in decline in the mid-1970s when "Breakin' It Up, Breakin' It Down" was recorded. This concert document should dispel those thoughts. It might have taken Muddy longer to build up a head of steam, but when he got rollin', he was as "mannish" as ever. With old pal James Cotton blowing away on harp and Johnny Winter (who ignited Muddy's revival by producing his later records on Blue Sky Records) as his co-stars on the 1977 tour, Muddy was pushed to the heights he regularly reached in his 1950s and 1960s heyday ("Pinetop" Perkins on piano, and Bob Margolin on guitar also shine). The live version of "Can't be Satisfied" - the second cut on the disc - is as strong as any live recording in his career. I saw this band at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. and the three stars were on fire and having a whale of a time. When I bought "Breakin' It Up, Breakin' It Down," I thought, "there is no way this recording will be as good as I remember the show." But not to worry, it's all here and hearing it again made me smile at the memories of Muddy, James, and Johnny pouring out electric blues. A rousing "Got My Mojo Working" (the encore) finishes things up nicely. Someone once said, "In Muddy Waters' hands 'the blues' is a misnomer."

Just bought it, can't stop listening to it!!!! Got my other half hooked as well. Al Jarreau is superb. Saw him in concert with George Benson and I was amazed at the pure joy I felt in witnessing two great muso's in one amazing concert!!!! This album is a real delight, just like the man himself :-)
Breakin Away.......2007-06-08
Al Jarreau is a fantastic talent. I really like eveything that he does.
Great Work.......2006-09-22
This album introduced me to Al Jarreau. I have since picked up earlier work and later work. Unreal voice, with range and 'instrumentability' like no one else. He is fun to listen to, and a marvel to hear. This album carries several mainstream hits!!
casaclau.......2006-07-25
I think it is a very soft and pleasure kind of music
i'm writting from Italy.
Moonlight Margarita.......2006-04-22
I bought this for Jarreau's classic "WE'RE IN THIS LOVE TOGETHER" but discovered so much MORE. Every cut is just TERRIFIC! The venerable "TEACH ME TONIGHT" has never been arranged or performed so beautifully and "OUR LOVE" is a sensuous treat for the ears. Listening to this CD is like a moonlit evening on a Caribbean beach - warm, breezy, and unforgettable. Bring your margarita, settle back on the sand and enjoy.

cardboard....ha! we only use linoleum. cardboard is for suckas! this is a top class movie. i would have never broken into the world of dance if it wasn't for ozone and turbo. but because of them i break it down religiously and win break dance wars. and now i'm poppin' and lockin' fool... step up or step out...

OOOH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOVIE THAT IS NOT ONLY INSPIRING YOU TO BE WHAT YOU WANT TO BE BUT IT WAS CLEAN CUT VERY MUSICAL AND THE ACTING , DANCING, AND PERFORMING IN THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT. IT DIDN'T GET MUCH RATING LIKE I THOUGHT IT SHOULD BUT I LOVED IT ESPECIALLY THE SOUNDTRACK.
Breakin, learn it, love it, live it........2005-06-19
I got this back in my dancing hay-day, they used to call me Iron Waffle Crisps, because my moves were hot and gritty, keep me away from that cardboard square, because i'll set it straight on fire! There's nothing like hangin on the corner decked out in some Zubaz pants, a members only jacket, and a fresh flock of seagulls cut, break dancin into all the ladies hearts (oh, i did more than just dance into their hearts) and this is the perfect album to do it to. oh? never seen breakin!?! well you better beat feet to your local music store and pick it up! I watched it for 1 week straight at one point in my life, and even had my own dance posse ( The Electric Sizzle Chests) it consisted of me, chubby lou, big frank, cheese grits, and lupus fury. needless to say we ruled the streets, and got all the finest break dancing groupies on the market. Anyways, do yourself a favor, and get Breakin!

Turn it up!.......2006-05-06
I agree with the reviewer who suggested tossing the 1st disc and playing the 2nd - and play it loud! The first disc is interesting from a historical sense (with some enjoyable music), but the 2nd one is the rockin' one. This package also comes with an informative booklet. I would actually give this 3 1/2 stars for having to spend the money to enjoy one out of two discs. For people who like this era, this package is more enjoyable (to me) than the Lucky Millinder offering, "Apollo Jump."
KING years make it worth the purchase !.......2005-05-17
Tiny Bradshaw never really got his due as one of the true godfather's of rock and roll and its a darn shame. It may very well have been because by the time he died a whole generation of young and more in touch rock and rollers were breaking up the house, and doing it well enough to simply drown him out. - - Still, in listening to this CD straight through, I'm reminded a bit of the career of Louis Prima, which also spanned pre-swing Jazz and peaked in the final days of Rock and Roll. One get's the impression that like Prima, Bradshaw was one of those soul survivors willing to do anything necessary to redefine himself and hang in... Prima arguably managed to do it in a much more charismatic and flamboyant manner however. Many of the top honkers of their time may have gone through boot camp in Tiny's group, but sadly, he never had that Sam Butera and Keely Smith... (James Brown's Maceo Parker, Duke Ellington's Billy Strayhorn or Sly Stone's Larry Graham) in otherwords, he had creative brilliance, but sadly was never able to package in a signature sound that was HIS and his alone. - - As a result, a billion other artists who DID have their own sound (for but a moment) perhaps were able to fly in, lift his stuff and hit do good with it.
Still, with all this said, Bradshaw managed to surround himself with the best players of his age and wrote great tunes... remarkably though if you listen to his pre JUMP / R & R stuff on DISK 1, then dig the true heavy swinging house rocking stuff on the DISK 2, you can hear how he started as a Cab Calloway meets Jimmy Durante 1930's hot Jazz shouter, and never managed to truly change his vocal style in the 50's... perhaps that's probably what kept him from becoming the true legend he deserved to be. - - Whatever, there are a number of reasons to get this CD (besides the great booklet and disk) - - I can give you 4 words actually... RED PRYSOCK and RUFUS GORE...! The tunes, with their rough edges (a few really bad vocal duos with ridiculously off key lady singers for example) by DISK 2 are great house rocking stuff... not to mention some occasional impredictable lyrics... To sum it up and if you haven't heard WALK THAT MESS (with a horrifying funky Lenny Picket type tenor shrill) you haven't really lived or swung !!! GET THIS (toss DISK ONE) after a brief lesson then get town with the BOODIE GREEN !
Jump, Boogie, & Blues.......2002-11-13
Len here!
What more can a Blues & Jazz lover ask for? This band did it all & it seemed like thay had a good time doin' it. For me Tiny's band rate's up thar with the best of 'em.
Keep Jazzin' & Bluesin' everyone ! Len

Mirwais, Oasis, Massive Attack, Overseer, Klint, Madonna, even some of the grreaat one-lines from the movie. "Do you know what nemesis means?" Well get this soundtrack either way. Mirwais' "Disco Science" is awesome, as is "Fuckin in the Bushes" by Oasis (and I am NOT an Oasis fan). "Angel" by Massive Attack...incredible. Just get it.
UK issue of snatch cd different to US issue but...........2001-01-23
that doesn't stop that from being one cracker of a cd. the UK edition has 15 songs and 8 quotes from the film making a total of 23 tracks in all. the tracks are very cool the stranglers golden brown and 10cc's dreadlock holiday and overseer's supermoves being my faves but the cd as a whole is pucker. if there is one cd soundtrack you need to get this year is the one. one quick note the US tracklisting differs slightly in terms of running order i do believe in closing if you enjoyed the film (i know i did i saw it twice) you will dig the music on this disc.
Love it!.......2000-11-23
It reflects the different states u pass by when watching this movie! Great as a "car drive" cd.

Album Description
This LP was hastily compiled in 1964 to capitalize on De Shannon being chosen to support the Beatles on their US tour that year. The rather ordinary LP front cover with a photo of De Shannon from somewhere other than the tour reflects the haste. However the recordings are superb, arranged by Jack Nitzsche, they confirm what a tremendous performer she was. Originals like 'When You Walk In The Room', 'The Prince' and 'You Won't Forget Me' along with her original version of 'Needles & Pins' have been remastered from the original tapes. In addition, 8 bonus non-LP tracks from contemporary singles have been added. The album is compiled and annotated by Jim Pierson and Jackie De Shannon and many of the pictures & other material are from De Shannon's own archive. First time on CD for the whole LP, and many of the bonus tracks. RPM. 2005.
Album Details
Our First in the Series is a Strong Collection of De Shannon Originals Like "When You Walk in the Room", "The Prince" and "You Won't Forget Me" Along with her Original Version of Needles and Pins. The LP was Hastily Compiled in 1964 to Capitalise on De Shannon Being Chosen to Support the Beatles on their Us Tour that Year. The Rather Ordinary LP Front Cover with a Photo of De Shannon from Somewhere Else, Not from the Tour, Rather Reflects the Haste. However the Recordings Are Superb, Arranged by Jack Nitzsche, They Confirm What a Tremendous Performer She Is, as the Original Liner Notes Declared: "Far from Being Just a Decorative Contrast on the Stage Jackie Has Proven to Be a Terrific Success. Her Twisting, Shouting Performances have Drawn Wild Applause and Cheers from the Record Crowds at Every Concert."
Customer Reviews:
Jackie DeShannon or Tuesday Weld?.......2006-03-24
There are certain choices one shouldn't have to make. Even when you really don't have a chance of a choice. So let's make it one from music and one from movies. Jackie DeShannon is an easy choice for the women rock star you wish you could marry. And if she wasn't a big star then she should have been. This is a great record, great production, great vocals, great songs. Songs by a young Randy Newman, alone and with Jackie; Jack Neitzche, with Sonny Bono and with Jackie; Jackie on her own,(the magnificent and influential "When You Walk In the Room", covered by the Searchers and, great as they were, they coudn't hold a candle to the original); and, especially, Jackie with Sharon Sheeley, girlfriend of Eddie Cochran and songwriter extraordiaire, on her own, ("Poor Little Fool" for Ricky Nelson), and with Jackie, ("The Great Imposter" for The Fleetwoods.) And Jackie DeShannnon bringing it all together. There are a few covers which you may not need but they aren't bad and you can program them out if you want your DeShannon straight, no chaser; and with 20 tracks that leaves plenty on which to get drunk. If you only bought one Jackie DeShannon, should this be the one? Probably not but then we wouldn't be talking on the same wave length. One doesn't need everything she ever did and there are a couple of over-view compilations which do a good job. You do need "Jackie", recorded for Atlantic and reissued by RhinoHandmade: buy it for the original and accept the 12 bonus tracks as bonuses. And then there is ... e.g. the two-pack reissue of "Don't Turn Your Back on Me" c/w "This Is Jackie DeShannon" ... Watch for sonwriting credits for The Byrds, Brenda Lee, Irma Thomas, The Righteous Brothers and others. There is a lot to have and this record should be part of it.

Album Description
Randy Fuller, Larry Thompson and Billy Webb are three of the hardest working rock n' rollers on the planet. They originally came together in 1963 in a teenage band called the Fanatics in El Paso, Texas, playing alongside Randy's brother Bobby. It was this very lineup of the Fanatics that honed their skills night after night, devastating throngs of rockers at big brother Bobby's teen club, the Rendezvous (named after the California club famous for surf legend Dick Dale). The signature sound created by this early version of the Bobby Fuller Four came out of a combination of their own originsBilly had arrived in Texas from Iowa, where'd he'd been playing with the legendary Black Cats, and Larry was of course the Tacoma, Washington import steeped in R&B, blues and sheer coolness. Bobby and Randy, though both hatched in the Southwest, had started playing music as young noisemakers in Salt Lake City, Utah. Their diverse formative influences combined with the sounds of true Texas heroes from Buddy Holly to Long John Hunter to create a truly unique, insanely infectious and down right driving sound.
Then, in June of 1964, at the height of their local popularity and with their home studio recording of I Fought The Law (pulled off of Randy's copy of the Crickets record) under their collective belt, Larry and Billy left the band for any of the long forgotten reasons that teenagers part ways, with Billy and Larry moving on to form the Rooks with another El Paso music legend, Joe Ritchie.
Bobby and Randy soon recruited two members from early El Paso rock n' roll combo the Counts, their first guitar player Jim Reese (who'd been on loan to the Fanatics in the preliminary lineup) and drummer Dalton Powell, who had replaced Bobby on skins when he left to form his own band on guitar. By the end of '64 the new edition of the Fanatics had landed in Hollywood as the Bobby Fuller Four, and the rest is history, sad and true. A year and a half later, in the summer of '66, the group's meteoric rise came to a crashing halt when Bobby was found dead under bizarre circumstances.
So here we are now, four decades after the Fanatics pounded the boards at El Paso teen clubs, holding in our hands a new rock n' roll collection by the very same bunch of guys that mixed that sockin' concoction of West Texas stomp with each of their far flung inspirations. Randy Fuller's fine voice is the lead vocal this time, and he's still pounding away on bass- without a doubt one of the best and most creative bass players in rock n' roll, and he's joined again by two unstoppables from the Rendezvous Larry Thompson and Billy Webb. What are the chances? And what're the chances that they would be quite fantastic all over again? But here they all are, three of the Four, recorded at their home studio, calling all the shots on defiant rockers, heart stopping ballads-- some old, some new, some stormin', some undeniably blue. It Happened In El Paso, and it'll happen again and again, wherever these three cats decide to be at any given time, and whenever you make the right turn onto Bobby Fuller Drive. Buckle up. It's gonna be a wild ride.
Customer Reviews:
Breakin' Rocks really rocks!!!.......2007-05-04
Normally, I wouldn't give this sort of record a 5 star rating, but since the rating scale is limited to a scale of 1 to 5 stars, the best rating I could give Breakin' Rocks is a measly 5 stars!
Back when I was a teenager, I loved listening to my Bobby Fuller Four albums ("KRLA King of the Wheels" and "I fought the Law") so much that I have extra copies so that one copy could be used for taping.
My record collection even included obscure copies of 45RPM singles of "Magic Touch," and "Love's Made a Fool of You."
As a young bass player, I sharpened my playing chops by learning such songs as "Let Her Dance."
Moving from the past to the present, The Bobby Fuller Drive blasts off where the Bobby Fuller Four left off in 1966 (with the tragic and mysterious death of Bobby Fuller).
Normally, I don't care for the new re-recodings of the old songs, but the old BB4 songs on Breakin' Rocks are all exceptional exceptions!
Breakin' Rocks (along with any future recordings by the Bobby Fuller Drive) belongs in evry BB4 fan's record collection.

Oops...I already said that!
Breakin Rocks "ROCKS".......2004-08-13
I've had this CD now for months and I continue to hear new things each time I listen. This work is so honest and real. You can tell these player's are playing from the heart. Every cut moves me big time. This is so much better than the music that is put out today from the biggies, it's from the soul of this group.

Exuberant and Irresistible Rock 'n' Roll.......2004-07-29
The album cover depicts a battered and bullet-riddled street sign and three weary men on a chain gang. Crack open the cd case and discover within a generous offering of glorious, vibrant rock 'n' roll.
Breakin' Rocks serves up a West Texas stew of faithful but sonically updated versions of Bobby Fuller's 60's classics, a couple of Buddy Holly covers and a sprinkle of well-written new originals.
Bassist Randy Fuller takes the lead on most songs. Back in the 60s, his voice always lent a unique quality to Bobby Fuller Four backing vocals. Today, as lead singer, his voice is distinctive and powerful. I was particularly taken by his heartfelt singing on Another Sad and Lonely Night, which should have gone top ten in 1965 and should today in this new version. On the ballad, New Shade of Blue, Randy's weathered, soulful vocal brings added depth to the lyrics. Elsewhere, Let Her Dance features propulsive drumming, a nifty La Bamba-like guitar solo and has the radio friendly feel of a power pop anthem. Nervous Breakdown is the fiercest rocker here. Randy's roaring vocal and throbbing bass are spot on, as is the dazzling guitar solo. A cover of Bobby Fuller covering Eddie Cochran, Nervous Breakdown is one delicious slice of rock 'n' roll.
There are two especially noteworthy autobiographical originals. It Happened In El Paso recalls the early days of the Bobby Fuller Four as they began to chart with their classic version of I Fought the Law and even echoes its refrain. It's a driving rocker showcasing pumping piano by Larry Knechtel. The colorful lyrics of The Lobby tell us about the most popular music joint across the Rio Grande in Juarez, Mexico.
Breakin' Rocks is a treat for fans of authentic rock 'n' roll, especially of the Bobby Fuller-Buddy Holly-West Texas brand. Three of the members of Bobby Fuller Drive played together as early as 1963, bassist Randy Fuller, guitarist Billy Webb, and drummer Larry Thompson. Their joy and satisfaction in making this compelling music comes through clearly in every note they sing and play.
